23-year-old Antwone Thurston II of Verona is the man wanted and being charged with criminal homicide.

Police say Monday night around 9:45 p.m.
at a home on South Sixth Street, Thurston jumped between two men who were arguing about rent money.

One of the men, William Osselbum, then pushed Thurston over a railing and into some bushes.

Police say Thurston then got up and stabbed Osselbum several times in the neck, arm, and torso.

Osselbum was transported to AHN Forbes Hospital where he later died.

Thurston fled the scene and is still on the loose.

When police arrived, they found a Smith and Wesson folding knife that witnesses say Thurston threw before he fled.
